Comments to Valerie: Tina, IN my notes it said we are to have 3 references. I have left my paper in written format instead of Q and A format. I will look at your paper in a little while. I just copied and pasted my lesson plan at the end of my paper. I hope this is correct. Good luck with comps. My prayers are with you this week. Chelle Tina, Sorry it took so long, but your attachment did not want to open on my computer at home. The others did and I finall got yours to open. Nice lesson overall. The use of Smartborrds is sound for introducing the lesson. Allowing the students to explore various points of interest from an aerial view on the computer is a great way to evaluate. The idea of collecting map from city hall is wonderful because it gives students two views of the maps. They can also compare the differences between the maps and the technology of today. Especially if som e of the maps are older and of the same building. The evaluation process seems good but vague on the rubric aspect. Would this evaluation be conducted as the students are using the internet and by the amount of questions they ask the teacher for and/assistance. Will you print the stories and how will they be graded? Overall a wonderful lesson. Dont forget your quotes and references. Are you still leaving yours in a Q & A format. I am a little confused and thought a critique was a written paper.
Valerie,
Your critique was very good. Aesthetically it looked great. I really liked the way you used the color font when answering the questions. I liked your question and answer technique. I could read the question and then understand the answer.
The body of the paper was also very good. Your references were very appropriate. You supported your convictions about the teacher not using technology effectively by referring to the ISTE table identified essential conditions and using it to its full potential.
Here are a few suggestions. How could you use differentiated instruction in the lesson? How would you accommodate other students, such as the ones who could not navigate the internet them self? Maybe you could find some activities on the internet using the weather theme. When you referred to page numbers are you referring to our textbook?
Make sure you add you references and put them in APA style. Tina
Thank you so much for your comments and suggestions. I will update and let you know!

Hi everyone. Would you please proof mine. I am having trouble with the reference page. Am I suppose to single space the reference when it takes up two lines? I am unable to do this. Help. I took into considerations your comments and used them. Thanks for your assistance. It is greatly appreciated. Tina
Thanks for the comments. The assessment in this lesson plan was very weak. There were no assessments for the technology. The only assessment this plan had was to assess the writing aspect of the lesson. I added that the students could write it in Microsoft word. I also stated I would add a rubric to assess it. I would also create a rubric to assess how they accessed the web site and found other famous places to look at. I would use a checklist while they were accessing the web site and how they used e-mail to send it to other classes/ or people.
The answer to your other question about if I would run of the copies of the stories is a good question. I did not think of that. I would run them and students could illustrate them and then we could create a class book. Tina

Tina,
This lesson is really neat! Our REACH teacher(gifted program) at our school uses aerial maps in her accelerated classroom. She teaches with Google Earth alot. These gifted students love it. I know she lets the students search for their homes, places of interest, etc. These students are third-fifth grade. I noticed you said you would use it in your third grade classroom? However, at the top of the plan, it said it could be adapted for K-5. I am a little uncertain how this lesson, using Microsoft word, aerial maps, and e-mail could be adapted for K-1.
Most lessons can be adapted to any age level. The teacher would definitely need to use the whole group approach. She could use the smart board. Students can still use the wand and view close ups or drag items. I do not know what it is called but we have the capability in the computer lab to control the other computers from one computer. The teacher could pull up the link and guide students through the process using her computer. Good questions and thoughts. Thanks.Tina

Hey guys! I am sorry. I got my days confused, but here is my lesson plan critique! I got this lesson from ALEX. It is a Social Studies lesson. It integrates the internet and powerpoint!
Good review. I am not sure what and how she wants it either. She wants a reference page in APA format so it seems like she wants it more formal but who knows.
This is a good lesson. You did a great job presenting the information. Good questions and answering format. At first I thought the objective was very broad , but after reading it again it is doable. There are a lot of standards. These could lead into mini lessons. How would you do this project in your class? How would you make it more appropriate for individuals and how would you use differentiated instruction for those individuals besides just working with others? What types of things would you do to check on progress or lack of progress of the project. What other subjects could you integrate into the lesson? (ie. language arts)Don't forget to use three references and incorporate them into you critique. Very good!!! Tina
